The document discusses Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in Belgium and Luxembourg. It notes that both countries have three national languages, creating opportunities for mutual learning but also barriers for practices to diffuse. Luxembourg has a small population of 500,000 people, meaning stakeholders in RRI are few and over-demanded. While some pioneers are active in RRI, it is not generally mainstream in expertise. There is a need for inspiring practices and hands-on tools. In Belgium, RRI is not yet a well-known concept and funding agencies focus on open access and research integrity. Participation aims and roles are not always clearly defined, and there are more living labs emerging.

Local investment in accessibility can invest in the future by making communities more inclusive for all. Regulations require accessibility in areas like education, employment, public services and the built environment. At the local level, criteria for accessibility include usefulness, reliability, understandability, familiarity, accessibility, availability and affordability. Objections note the need for a single, standardized vision of accessibility across districts and for accessibility to be an integral part of long-term community planning.

The document summarizes the origins and work of the SIAC Network, a transnational network focused on accelerating social innovation in cities. Key points: 1) SIAC was founded in late 2014 by two Dutch citizens within the SEiSMiC project to boost social innovations by offering local support networks for innovators. 2) Over two years, SIAC has grown to include participants from 9 countries and has organized network meetings, research proposals, and knowledge sharing activities to advance social innovation in Europe. 3) The network aims to establish "social innovation friendly ecosystems" in cities by bringing together citizens, government, businesses, and researchers to jointly define and solve pressing local issues through social innovation.

ICANN 50: Report by the panel on Global Internet Cooperation and Governance M...

Andile Ngcaba

The Panel on Global Internet Cooperation and Governance Mechanisms was formed through a partnership between ICANN and the World Economic Forum to develop recommendations for a collaborative, decentralized internet governance ecosystem. The Panel was chaired by Estonia's President Toomas Ilves and included representatives from government, civil society, the private sector and technical community. The Panel's report proposes a distributed, participatory and layered model of internet governance carried out through distributed governance groups addressing specific issues. It recommends next steps by 2017 to further develop and strengthen multistakeholder mechanisms, decision-making processes, funding models, and address additional questions to advance this vision of internet governance.

Wouter Van den Driessche

The document discusses the changing role of libraries in a digital world and proposes a vision for European library policy. It argues that libraries should (1) integrate services into citizens' daily lives, (2) develop services supporting societal goals like lifelong learning and inclusion, and (3) offer diverse programs relevant to all populations. Libraries are shifting from primarily providing access to information to delivering complex learning and community activities through both digital and physical spaces. E-inclusion is crucial to fighting social tensions, and libraries can help bridge the digital divide through ICT training programs.

Transferring British Community Entreprises to the Dutch Context

Reinout Kleinhans

1) The document discusses transferring the British concept of community enterprises (CEs), which are locally-run organizations that provide services, to the Netherlands. 2) There are some opportunities to adopt the CE model, but also significant challenges due to differences in organizational cultures and the role of government between the two countries. 3) Key questions remain about whether a policy of "forced active citizenship" in the Netherlands will be effective, what the proper role of government should be, and how to ensure all community needs are met and interests represented.

CROW

In de UK is het veel gebruikelijker dat bewoners en bedrijven (mede)verantwoordelijk zijn voor hun directe leefomgeving. Premier David cameron maakt zich hard voor het ontwikkelen van de "Big Society" om locale gemeenteschappen meer kracht te geven. Onze hoofdspreker Steve Clare van Locality, een Britse netwerk van vijfhonderd buurtbeheerorganisaties, vertelt ons over zijn praktijkervaringen in de UK. Hoe zijn de locale bewoners actief in het beheer van hun buurt? Wat levert dat de buurten en de gemeente op? Met welke wetgeving en organisatievormen hebben ze dat voor elkaar gekregen? En wat kunnen wij in Nederland van hen leren? Doen wij al veel aan bewonersparticipatie, of staan wij pas aan het begin van een onomkeerbare verandering...?

Adult education in Italy and the contribution of Epale

Istituto Nazionale di Documentazione, Innovazione e Ricerca Educativa

Adult education in Italy is complex with responsibilities spread across multiple levels sometimes overlapping. It includes both formal education through centers and non-formal education by associations and organizations. While adult education was only recently defined legislatively, it has been able to meet population needs for culture through sharing experiences. A 2012 law defined lifelong learning as a right and established local networks but specific funding was not provided, leaving underlying issues of participation. The EPALE platform financed by Erasmus+ aims to connect professionals across Europe around sharing adult learning content and EU policies.

General introduction

ESF Vlaanderen

This document summarizes a seminar on supporting social innovation with the European Social Fund. It discusses how Flanders has a long tradition of allocating ESF funds to support innovation. For the 2014-2020 period, 5 priority axes were established, with 8.5% of total ESF funds going to an innovation and transnationality axis. A project was conducted to develop principles and a toolkit to support innovation in employment policy and the labor market. The project involved literature reviews, seminars, study visits, training, and an exchange event. The resulting toolkit provides practical tools and theoretical frameworks focused on new services but also systems innovation. The seminar aims to share insights from this work with other countries.

Powering European Public Sector Innovation

Social Innovation Lisbon - Norbert Kunz

PANF08

1. The document discusses financing social innovation projects focused on inclusive entrepreneurship. It provides the example of Project Enterprise, a program that helps young people under 27 pursue self-employment opportunities. 2. Project Enterprise uses a 4-phase model including self-learning manuals and an entrepreneur's passport to guide participants. It has supported over 6,000 participants, creating 1,400 startups with a 70% 3-year survival rate. 3. The document argues that public financing is necessary to develop innovative programs like Project Enterprise but faces challenges due to rigid budgets and lack of incentive structures.
